fangirl_saysCan someone please get these people a copy editor, stat? If it was a breaking news story and they just threw it up there to get word out and then went back to edit, I'd understand. But I first heard the story four hours ago, so someone has had time to go back and edit. That said, I hope they find the missing women and that they're okay.
In fandom-y news, Legend of the Seeker season 2 starts this weekend, woot woot!
Can I just say that this is one of the few times I can remember a TV series actually being a lot better than the source books? I made it through the first three books in Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series -- barely. Went back and re-read the beginning of the first book and wow, this guy is a crappy writer. His secondary characters are all one-note, good or evil, no shades of gray in sight, and talk about anvil-icious! Dude makes Kripke and his writing staff look positively subtle. And do not get me started on his treatment of women in his books. Rowr. D:<
The series, while being somewhat heavy on the cheese factor, has so far been wonderfully fun, due in large part to the two leads, Bridget Regan and Craig Horner (also, Craig Parker OM NOM NOM.) I've described Bridget and Craig as alarmingly charming in the past, and I think I'll stick with that phrasing. It fits!
